“…In our study, 77% of children had compromised vision, with abnormal ocular findings in 60% of these children and CVI in 17%. The same was evident in the study by Smitha et al (83.6%) 12 , Akinci et al, (77%), 14 Chandrakishore and Sujata (86%) 15 and Afroze R (65.7%). 13 Taking into consideration the above statistics, not enough stress can be paid to the importance of early eye examination by a pediatric ophthalmologist.…”

Purpose: To study the frequency of ocular abnormalities in developmentally delayed children of a private pediatric ophthalmology clinic. Study Design: Observational cross-sectional. Place and Duration of Study: Children eye care, Lahore, from October 2020 to October 2022. Methods: Children aged five years and younger referred by a pediatrician for visual assessment were included in the study. The referring pediatrician made diagnosis of delayed milestones. A detailed ocular examination was done to rule out presence of any ocular abnormality. Data were collected, and statistical analysis was done using Excel (Microsoft 2015, version 15.15) and Stata (version 13). Results: A total of 406 children were included in the study. Forty one percent were in the age bracket of 1 – 2 years. There were 63% boys. Among all, 77% had compromised vision, of which 60% had abnormal ocular findings, while cortical visual impairment (CVI) was seen in 17%. The most common ocular issue was refractive error (30.29%), of which hyperopia was seen in 70.7% and myopia in 29.3%. Strabismus was seen in 15.5% of children and exotropia being more prevalent. Visual delay was detected in 19.8%. Out of these 42% had hyperopia, whereas 21% had esotropia. Conclusion: The significant association of ocular abnormalities with development delay is a cause of great concern as this can lead to an increase in overall morbidity. A timely examination by a pediatric ophthalmologist would lead to early detection of any ocular abnormality and convenient management, preventing undue visual impairment.

“…Chandrakishore and Sujata, however, reported cataracts (20%) to be more common than refractive error. 15 In our study, 24 children (5.9%) had cataract. Congenital cataract in these children is mostly associated with rubella infection and inherited developmental disorders.…”

“…The present study revealed that history of preterm birth was present in 21 (38.89%) subjects.Similar study conducted by by Pardhi et al, delayed cry was present in 18% of children who had ocular manifestation (7) and Elmenshawy et al, showed preterm as risk factor in 51.4% of the children (8). In the current study consanguinity was seen in 4 (7.41%) out of total 54 subjects.…”

Background and Objective: The study was conducted to determine the occurrence and types of ophthalmologic abnormalities in children with developmental delay. Methods: children with developmental delay between age group of 6 months to 16 years visiting Himalayan hospital were studied for presence and types of ocular manifestations over a period of 1year. Results: Among 54 children, ocular manifestation was noted in 48 (88.89%) children. Among various ocular manifestations refractive error was commonest seen in 29 out of 54(53.70%) cases of which hypermetropia was most common. Second most common manifestations was esotropia 11 out of 54 (20.37%) followed by exotropia 7 out of (12.96%). In 12 out of 54 (22.22%) subjects temporal disc pallor was present. Conclusion: In developmentally delayed children, visual handicap plays an important role in overall morbidity. early assessment and correction of visual problems will provide such children greater chances of achieving their true potential and will prevent unnecessary visual impairment
